Just as flowers require constant watering and pruning to stay fresh and beautiful, maintaining a pure heart requires cleansing it with kindness and constantly clearing away evil thoughts.
Remember, when faced with money and profit, the difference between a gentleman and a scoundrel may not be much. When huge interests are involved, you must stay vigilant and cautious; while your closest kin may not harm you, others are unpredictable.
If you know you have the ability, do not let yourself fall into decadence.
Many things in this world are like double-edged swords; when you intend to harm others, you often end up being hurt yourself, sometimes even more severely than the other party.
To err is human; everyone makes mistakes without exception.
If you have taken the wrong direction in life, stopping is progress.
Among all the sorrows in life, the most desolate is being a stranger in a foreign land. Sitting by the lamp at midnight, reading a letter from home; fame and fortune turn to dust, while waves and storms fade in dreams of Jiangdu. The cuckoo's cry brings tears, and they say the longest journey of all is the road back home. The distant bells of the ancient temple urge travelers to stay, and a few fishing lights flicker in the cabin. Moths dance through the night as boats cross the river. By the clear waters and chilly spring shores, beside the old paths under the eternal willows, does the traveler remember? Carrying his bundle, passing through streams and small hills, yearning for the world beyond, he traveled through mountains and rivers without looking back, never glancing at his misty hometown in the spring rain.
